SPRING SHOWCASE OF HOMES
April 15 - 16 & 22 - 23, 2023
PRESENTED BY EVENT SPONSOR
Karastan’s lowest prices of the season are here. Now through June 1st. Ask about special financing.
Hello and welcome to the 2023 Spring Showcase of Homes! As winter releases its icy grip on our state, getting ready for the Showcase always reminds me that spring is just around the corner.
Our builders have worked hard through the winter, and I’m excited to share some of the best homes and developments in southeast Minnesota. We’ve got more than forty fantastic new builds and developments ready for you to view, each with their own unique idea of what turns a house into a home.
Exploring this self-guided tour can be a great way to figure out what you want in your home—and in your builder.
As construction professionals, we know that choosing a builder can be tough. It can be difficult to know where to
start when you need to find someone to turn your dreams into brick and mortar. The Showcase of Homes is a fantastic opportunity to talk to a builder in person, and to see a concrete example of how they design and build— or to find a home that already has everything you want.
Of course, as they say, location is everything! Be sure to check out the awesome developments in the Spring Showcase. From peaceful wooded lots to modern townhomes with plenty of amenities, you can find a location you love at the Showcase of Homes.

WHAT IS HERS?
a standard new home is awarded a rating of 100.
• A home with a HERS Index Score of 70 is 30% more energy efficient than a standard new home.
• A home with a HERS Index Score of 130 is 30% less energy efficient than a standard new home.
More on what the scores mean.
The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the INDUSTRY STANDARD by which a home’s energy efficiency is measured. It’s also the NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance.
What does a HERS Rating say about a house?
The HERS Index MEASURES A HOME’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY and there are a lot of great reasons to have a home energy assessment performed on your house.
It can tell you so much about the home you live in, like how efficiently it’s operating and where you can make modifications for greater energy savings. When you’re selling your home, a low HERS rating can command a higher resale price. And when you’re buying a home you can anticipate the costs of energy bills and efficiency upgrades.
To calculate a home’s HERS Index Score, a certified RESNET home energy rater carries out an energy rating on your home and compares the data against a ‘reference home’ – an imaginary home of the same size and shape as the actual home, so your score is always relative to the size, shape and type of house you live in. Some of the variables included in an energy rating are:
• All exterior walls (both above and below grade)
• Floors over unconditioned spaces (like garages or cellars)
• Ceilings and roofs
• Attics, foundations and crawlspaces
• Windows and doors, vents and ductwork
• HVAC systems, water heating system, and your thermostat
To learn more about the HERS index or to find an energy rater contact Rochester Area Builders, Inc. at (507) 282-7698 or at www.rochesterareabuilders.com
One Number That Says It All!
How does the HERS Index work?
The energy score that tells you more. 130 63
A certified Home Energy Rater assesses the energy efficiency of a home, assigning it a relative performance score. The lower the number, the more energy efficient the home.
The U.S. Department of Energy has determined that a typical resale home scores 130 on the HERS Index while
The HERS Index Score is a measurement system for homes based on their energy performance. A lower score means a more energy efficient home, and that means higher energy savings and lower energy bills for you!
FEATURED PROJECT
The Neighborhood located in Rochester MN, brings the best of both worlds - custom luxury single-family homes with maintenance-free living. Residents enjoy a convenient, carefree lifestyle on their terms, without the hassles and burden of lawn or snow care. Located in one of the most prestigious developments in northeast Rochester, The Neighborhood is a progressive and unique enclave of Shannon Oaks in Northeast Rochester. Experience a true sense of community with amenities purposefully designed to foster relationships between friends, neighbors, and family.
If2023 is the year you’ve decided to purchase a new home – whether as a first-time buyer or a seasoned home owner – the best time to start preparing is now. Following a few simple strategies will help place you in an ideal position to find a home that’s a good fit for you and your family.
CREATE A LIST OF MUST-HAVES
The best place to start if you are a first-time home buyer is to assess your needs, especially your future home location, size and amenities. Even seasoned home owners are attracted to idyllic home photos posted online, but the space may not meet their needs. Prioritizing must-haves will help you save significant time in the home buying process. Most home buyers will need to compromise on some home features to fit their budget.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE
Even if you’ve purchased a home previously, stricter credit requirements can be challenging for some buyers to find home loans. However, a favorable credit score can make a difference in your ability to be approved for a loan. Credit monitoring is always a good idea, even if you think nothing has changed recently on your credit report. If you are preparing to purchase a home, monitoring your credit will ensure you aren’t being unfairly penalized for old debts, which can sometimes linger on credit reports. Generally, borrowers with scores in the low 600s and even high 500s can still find lenders who will qualify them, but borrowers should strive for scores in the mid- to upper-700s to secure the best rate.
DETERMINE WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD
Don’t let your maximum loan approval amount dictate your home-buying budget. You are the best person to determine what you can realistically afford. Experts say that your monthly home expenses should not exceed one-third of your gross monthly income. You’ll also need to determine how much you’ll need to cover any loan fees and closing costs.
SELL YOUR CURRENT HOME
If buying a new home is contingent on selling your current home, it’s a good idea to connect with your realtor sooner rather than later. An experienced realtor can advise you on the best strategy for selling your home at the right time and for the best price possible. In addition, you’ll want to identify any maintenance issues in your home and address them. You can also ask your realtor if upgrading your current home will generate a return on investment.

Consider an ADU!
What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a smaller, independent residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a stand-alone (i.e., detached) single-family home.
What are minimum requirements for Accessory Dwelling Units?
• Permitted in all residential zoning districts.
• If the accessory dwelling unit is located in the R-1 district, either the principal dwelling unit or the accessory dwelling unit must be owner-occupied.
• 1,000 square foot maximum.
• Buildings containing dwellings must have frost footings. Existing detached garages are not typically on frost-protected footings. Other footing materials or systems shall be designed in accordance with accepted engineering practice. (R403.1.2).
• A detached ADU must be metered separately as a dual meter socket.
How can I learn more about ADUs?

SHOULD YOU BUY A NEW OR EXISTING HOME?
need upgrades, costing home owners more money in the long run.
An NAHB analysis of recent census data found that a third (35%) of owner-occupied homes were built before 1970. Building standards have changed a great deal over the decades, almost as fast as technology has evolved. Due to this evolution, new homes can accommodate today’s advanced technology and be customized to meet an individual home owner’s need. And knowing that the house was built by a qualified professional to adhere to the latest safety codes gives the owner added assurance. In addition to being built to the most recent safety codes, today’s homes are more energy efficient than ever. With innovative materials and construction techniques, new homes are built to be much more energy efficient than homes constructed a generation ago. As a result, not only can they be more affordable to operate, but new homes also are significantly more resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.
New homes also have adapted to modern home owner’s needs. The pandemic changed the way most individuals live, work and play. And new homes available on the market today are designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, from busy on-the-go families to flexible spaces ideal for spending more time at home. Home builders offer a variety of floor plans and amenities to complement everyday family activities.
Ahome is one of the most significant purchases a person will make in their lifetime. There is no question that the cost of purchasing a home has been challenging recently. Yet, despite some affordability hurdles, many individuals continue to buy a house to invest in their future. According to a National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) analysis, in the fourth quarter of 2022, nearly half (46%) of prospective home buyers were actively engaged in the purchasing process.
There are many important decisions to make when it comes to buying a new home based on price, location, and type. One of the buyers’ first decisions is to purchase a new or existing home. Older homes may offer charm or maybe in a preferred location, but existing homes generally
